Western MA Funders Network Meeting: Political Landscapes & Voting Trends

At this meeting we’ll hear from Representative Lindsay Sabadosa and former Representative Smitty Pignatelli on the current state of play in Massachusetts as we navigate the next federal Administration and the impact on our state. And, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Voter TableShanique Rodriguez, will give a presentation on the current voting landscape for Western Massachusetts and how voting patterns and trends here in our communities compare to other places in the state.

Our hope is that this will be a grounding meeting to understand voting trends and the role of the legislature as we move through the inevitable changes that are coming. And, as always, we’ll have time for sharing updates.

About the Network:

The Western MA Funders Network is an inclusive network for grantmakers funding in, or based in, the four counties of Western Massachusetts: Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin. The network exists as a peer community to support grantmakers in the region and ultimately, to create a positive impact throughout Western Massachusetts.

A Network priority is advancing racial equity through grantmaking in Western MA. The intent is to do this for, and with, the most marginalized in the communities of the region. Network members desire to keep learning, dialoging on a regular basis, and collaborating in its effort to advance racial equity through grantmaking.
